Malgrado un pessimo Bryant da 11 punti con 4/19 dal campo, i Lakers si confermano sui Magic di Superman Howard (24+13) grazie al break nel quarto periodo. Charlotte e Memphis non si fermano più: gli uomini di Larry Brown centrano la 5^ vittoria consecutiva battendo i Kings, mentre Rudy Gay & O.J Mayo trascinano i Grizzlies sui Suns per la nona sinfonia consecutiva tra le proprie mura. Gallinari e i suoi Knicks ok contro Detroit (senza 4/5 del quintetto), Durant e Green vincono negli ultimi 2′ ad Atlanta, a Houston prima Scola manda Houston ai supplementari e Carl Landry li domina e Jennings va K.O. Jonny Flynn realizza il suo career-high contro Phila e trascina i T-Wolves al supplementare. Golden State è in serata e la coppia Ellis-Maggette (36 e 32 punti) schianta i Bulls, infine “Bunder Dirk” e Jason Kidd (17 assist) mettono in crisi i Celtics. Buone vittorie per San Antonio a New Orleans e Clippers con i Nets.
